MusicWorks to distribute Electro-Voice portable loudspeakers and microphones in New Zealand

October 24th, 2013

MusicWorks Limited, New Zealand's largest musical instrument retail group, has become the exclusive New Zealand retail distributor of Electro-Voice (E-V) portable loudspeakers. The music chain will also carry a range of E-V microphones.“We are very pleased to have MusicWorks as the New Zealand distributor,” said Chris Dellenty, General Manager of Bosch Communications Systems (corporate ownership of E-V). “Our distribution channel objectives include finding highly professional businesses that can provide extensive reach, but, most importantly, excellent sales and support services to the end-user. MusicWorks definitely fits this category.”

With 32 stores nationwide that stretch the length of the country, from Whangarei in the North all the way to Invercargill in the South, MusicWorks provides world-renowned brands, and high levels of expertise and customer service. Due to MusicWorks’ purchasing power, the retail group members have access to products at lower prices and can pass these savings to the customer.

The distribution agreement between E-V and MusicWorks covers products ideal for the MI market. These include the ZLX loudspeaker range (with the ZLX-12P being the current number-one-selling portable powered speaker in US), and the ELX and ZX/ZXA loudspeaker lines. E-V microphones available through MusicWorks include the PL, N/DYM and RE series.

MusicWorks Managing Director Andrew McElroy is welcoming the addition of E-V to the stable the group represents and markets to retailers, installers and hire companies in NZ. “The addition of E-V will strengthen our line up considerably and will give the end-user a better range of options in the sound, install and hire market in NZ,” said Mr. McElroy. The E-V brand is very strong and to have such a brand to represent in NZ is a move forward for MusicWorks.”

New Zealand EV Launch Events

MusicWorks and E-V have also joined forces to run launch events in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch from October 29 to November 1. E-V product experts will be on hand to demonstrate and the portable loudspeaker product range and the leading E-V microphone products.
